"Concern is mounting after a doctor at a Texas nursing home started giving the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine to dozens of elderly patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and tracking the outcomes in what he's calling an 'observational study.'"
...
"The controversial decision to administer hydroxychloroquine at The Resort at Texas City over the last few days was made by Robin Armstrong, a physician and medical director of the nursing home."
...
"Armstrong said he was alarmed by the test results last week and immediately began making calls to track down a source for the medicine, which is in short supply.
"That's when his political connections proved useful.
"Armstrong, who is a prominent GOP activist, called Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. He says Patrick reached out to Texas state Sen. Bryan Hughes, also a Republican, who knew someone on the board of the New Jersey-based company Amneal Pharmaceuticals. The company, which makes and distributes the drug, has donated more than a million tablets nationwide, including to the states of Texas and Louisiana.
"Two days later, Armstrong had received more than enough medication to begin giving it to patients."
...
"He acknowledged that some families were not aware their relatives were put on the drug, saying that 'for the most part,' he consulted with each nursing home resident prior to giving them on the tablets."
Aaaaaaaand... there you have it. The Trumpanzees are literally doing illegal, evil, Nazi bullshit now (as if they weren't already doing evil Nazi bullshit even before, it's just that they've now also branched out into the "scuzzy medical experiments" stage of their Nazi-emulation).
